Someone trying to crash the price to scare people into selling low lol, I bought a whole bunch cheap due to that

I don't really buy into that idea, it seems unlikely. Just some weak hands with quite a bit of VTC getting shaken out. That massive sell order was brought in like 5 minutes. I think that seller will regret it - they obviously haven't seen the kind of dev team that has formed behind this thing.

Same here.
That really sucks.

And no-one selling at these prices still

People are scared those 1000 VTC sold today for 0.2 BTC might turn into $30,000 Litecoin price down the road. Even though the price is up a lot, still a good coin to hold and not sell.

Next time you see "VB", make fun of him for selling 3600 Bitcoins at $2 each.

yea that guy is a dumbass

If the retarget is 3.5 days what happens when miners crash down on the coin with massive hash?

Did you see what happened to CAT? It's retarget was like 1 day or less and they had to hard fork
because when the dif skyrocketed everyone left and it was taking 3 days to do a transaction.

Tell me I am missing something.

Currently no multipools because normal CGminer will not do Vert. Not saying it's not possible, but all the workers would need to have a different cgminer and then they can only mine vert or vert clones.

Next because of the Algo the hash rate is half. So a pool might not like getting have the hash rate they get on other coins.

Price is going through the roof:

And no-one selling at these prices still, the sell-side is basically wiped out below 0.001

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but we have a brilliant new IRC bot thanks to Tom. Come join us in #vertcoin on freenode, and type !help to see the bot commands you can use to get prices, market cap, total vertcoins mined and more.

the official cudaminer github repo now also has the fix for VertCoin

use --algo=scrypt:2048 or --algo=scrypt:4096 depending on what's the current N value.
you have to manually set N, there is no automatic computation based on timestamp yet

Christian

Please see: https://github.com/vertcoin/vertcoin/blob/master-0.8/src/main.cpp#L1069

P.S. I've spent some time porting these changes to cudaminer but hashes fail to validate like 75% of the time, for some unknown reason (I did change computegold). I'll have a look at your version!

Check the first post. N depends on the current date.

Thanks, I did that and now I get this error:
'result does not validate on CPU (i=719, s=1)!'

Thanks in advance

Unless someone merges vertminer with normal cgminer (which is of course possible, but very unlikely to happen in mainline cgminer since he's totally dropped gpus since 3.7.2), VTC is multipool resistant, which should alleviate this risk.

An option is to fork to SSDRS (Kimotos gravity well) I guess. We'll see - other coins with long diff adjustments have done very well once they got a secure network with decent hashrate, which this one is well on its way to already.

How do I know what is the current value for 'N'?

Right now, it's multi-pool resistant because of the need for a special version of the mining software, so the giant spikes in hashrate that CAT had are less likely to happen.

Also not enough market depth to absorb 1Gh+ of mine+dump.

Some of the big miners may switch over, but given the different mining client, reduced hashrate, and currently small market on CoinedUp, I dont really see a lot doing it.

Not prefect and not guaranteed, but combined with not being ASIC friendly due to the memory requirement, its enough to make it different than the current crop of copypasta Scrypt coins.
